2. COMMUNICATION
 Communication is the process of sending and receiving information . It is the vehicle
through which we develop , maintain and improve human relationships . At times it
becomes the tools through which human are determined or destroyed . Communication
word is come from ‘’communis’’ ( Latin derivation ) which means common the idea of
commonality is frequently stressed in talking about communication. Denis mc Quail
defines ,communication is a process which increases commonality for it to occur at all .
Communication is part of the Fabric of society . It takes place at all levels
between peoples and between institutions , from government to people ,from people
back to government and through many channels both inter-personal and mediated

the transmission channels , mistrusts between the
sender and the receiver , different perception of
reality and vagueness about the objectives
achieved .
In Jargon of communication , all barriers
whatever their nature are clubbed under a
common labe –’noise’. A term modern physics , it
denotes not only atmosphere or channel

Mis communication can originate at three
levels : at the level of the transmitter , of the
receiver . In technical parlance , anything that
obstructs free flow of communication is called
‘noise’ . Or we may refer to it simply as a barrier
to communication .
Each communication must be transmitted
through an appropriate medium . An unsuitable
medium is one of the biggest barriers to
communication .
